While the plan does not provide specific detail on roadway design and engineering <br />functions, it provides a framework for an efficient future roadway system. Corridor studies along <br />Highway 10 and for the potential Mississippi River Crossings are key implementation strategies <br />that need support from adjacent communities, counties, and state and federal agencies. <br /> <br />Please review the attached draft plan and return your comments as soon as conveniently possible <br />but not later than the 60 day allotment allowed by state legislature.
